With upsets becoming more frequent, we’ve highlighted the top wrestlers from each weight class who suffered a loss over the weekend. Of course, not every one of these losses was classified as upsets. In some cases, a high-quality wrestler lost to an opponent who was just ranked higher. Whatever the circumstances, there were some very prominent competitors that put a one or two in their respective loss columns over the weekend. Since we're over four months away from the NCAA Tournament, we've also given a reason why you shouldn't worry much about the loss (or losses).
